For instance, who put the current head of the FCC in place, and where and for whom did he work prior? To summarize:

Thomas Edgar Wheeler (born April 5, 1946; Redlands, California)[1][2] is the current Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.

He was appointed by President Obama and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in November 2013. Prior to working at the FCC, Wheeler worked as a venture capitalist and lobbyist for the cable and wireless industry, with positions including President of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA) and CEO of the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA).

Look dude, the concept isn't that hard but I'll explain it. To a person with no money, stealing food may not be immoral. To the person with money, someone stealing their food is immoral. Morality is often defined by the perspective of the person. Get it? It's all relative, and defined by exigencies (in small words, that is 'defined by needs).

I only eat the ones who lose all their money on instant lottery tickets.

Morality social contract whatever... it's only for those who can afford it. If you need to eat you will whether you have to steal it or make like a South American soccer team. We are in the first world, so generally we can afford higher morales (not necessarily high morales).

A/C or not, that's fuckin' funny.

Probably followed the ITIL methodology. Spent the budget on process rather than building a useful system. ITIL being a British government system and all.

What was that? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Drug use and speeding are probably close parallels in that a tiny proportion of all violations of the law are prosecuted, so who gets punished depends more on whom society chooses to scrutinize than actual crime rates.

It could also be 'those who cause the most trouble and infringe on others' rights when they do break the law.' People who smoke drugs... I'm fine with it as long as their fun doesn't impose on my peace. Must be getting mellow, same thing for opiates. Crack and meth and other designer drugs, that's another matter. People who speed are generally caught regardless of who they are. Radar guns can't detect skin tone from a mile away. Speeding I don't mind either... as long as it is on say a stretch of highway that could safely support higher than the posted speeds, which is quite often, but not in residential neighbourhoods. People in the cars in question buy them because they are the 'everyman's' sports car or maybe the 'everyyoungman's' sports car for those who have more nuts than brains. That is likely why they are caught more. And to your reply, any woman who does drugs while high should have her kid taken away and her tubes tied. I'm not politically correct about that. I don't care.

The drivers are black. It has nothing to do with speeding or infractions. Cops don't charge anyone for actually doing something wrong.

How many zeros is a crapload? 4 or 5?

Ha ha! Apple isn't perfect (like anyone not in the cult of Apple already knew). The whiplash into reality is hitting hard I see. Welcome back to the real world.

If we don't watch out they'll pay Joe Barton to tell everyone in the house that the sun is a finite resource and sucking all the solar rays into these newfangled panels will cause it to run out sooner.

But doesn't Apple advertise themselves as better than the rest? Or is that only in "inspiring" (cough cough snort... almost choked on that one) designs.

Different kind of worm. And hole.

Which is why blue chip stocks were known to come from companies that reliably produced high quality products. They normally weren't the highest relative profits, but were steady. That traditionally made them attractive stocks to invest in. Now investors seem to think that only the highest possible profits are worth going for. If we go by history, those generally won't produce the highest quality products.
